How do you make Dollar Store Mini Spell Jars?
If you want to put a secret wish or affirmation into the bottle, you’ll need the largest of the tiny cork bottles.
Print the affirmations on regular paper and cut to size.
Roll the affirmation as tightly as possible, and place inside the tiny bottle.
Make sure it’s small enough to fit completely inside the bottle and not stick out the opening.
Take a scrap of paper and roll up into a funnel shape and insert it into the top of the bottle. Fill the bottle with various decorative pebbles, crushed glass, and colored sand.
Remind everyone to send their wishes and dreams into the bottle as they’re making it.
You can fill your bottles with sand, crushed glass or pebbles.
You could even use glitter and/or glitter glue. Or, a combination of all of these.
When you’ve filled the bottle as much as you want, add the cork.
Heat up the mini glue gun with the colored glitter hot glue and seal the top of the cork.
Then, add drizzles of glitter hot glue around the edges.
Allow the hot glue to dry for a few minutes before picking up.
